With season just around corner dropped weight to 68#, switched mods from 28-1/2 to 28 first shot low center had sight set to 70yds instead of 80 this is the best group I have ever shot at 80. A big thanks to Mark at Dead-End archery for a perfect tune

Very nice. The max range I'm currently comfortable with is 40 yards. I've got a lot of shooting to do in the next couple of months. We pulled camera cards yesterday so I've definitely got something to motivate me.

Excellent shooting! My max has been 60 yards with similar grouping.

Looks like you're ready for some freezer meat!

I stopped in there a couple of time last season when I was having issues with my Mathews. He was very helpful and a great guy to deal with. Do you hunt near his shop? Lots of really nice buck photos on the wall at his place.

Nice shooting, I was just at dead end friday for a custom string and a new hha single pin sight. Mark is the best around in my opinion. Haven't went anywhere else in 10+ years.

Have you done the calculations or used a chrono to figure out how much energy the arrow has at 80 yards?

 

[Leadeye]

Wow, good shots! No place I can shoot where I regularly hunt that would be past 30.

midget, arrow energy is .550022 for momentum and 78.37816 now I am not sure how to see what it would be at 80

Leadeye, all the places I hunt 30 would be max range also, last year both deer were shot at about 15yds, but i like to stretch it out just for fun. Anyone can do it it's all a mind game same mechanics at 20 as there is at 120 you just have to stay in the shot all the way and dope the wind it helps train my brain I am working on 100 and 120yds now I would never shoot at a deer past 40, now out west that would be a different story
